    Next big race is a marathon (Disney in January) and I have an outside shot at a Boston Qualifier time (need a 3:10 but ran a 1:32 half last month), so I'm increasing the running and cutting back on the lifting and biking goals. Being more disciplined with my diet and shaving 10lb over 6 weeks is probably my best shot at pulling it off though - so back to being super-disciplined with the food logging here on myfitnesspal.

    Goal Run 230 miles, Bike 350 miles, Lift 5 times, Swim 8 miles

    I'd love to join this group. I'm excited and nervous about December between family, travel, party and work schedules. My fitness and weight loss goals are a priority and I want to continue my focus! I'll think about my goals this evening and post tomorrow.

    I'm diversifying & December has some travel/scheduling glitches, so I'll post in here!
    My December goal is to walk my usual 100k steps a week, complete at least 10 hours of yoga practice, dance at least 5 hours in Zumba or UrbanKick, complete all the body weight challenges in the Hogwarts thread, and fit in 2+ hours of some snow sport... either xcountry skiing or snow shoeing depending on the amount of base we have at our cabin.

    01/12 - Run, 5.8km


    Totals:
    Run - 5.8km


    I applied to rejoin the army last month, as a reservist. Problem is, i had a bit of a shady military record 20 odd years ago. I called them up today, and sure enough, my case is being processed and is at stage 'Prior Service Records', so they'll be pulling up my old files and making a decision based on that as to wether to continue or not. Kinda sucks that currently the whole thing is resting on what i did as a teenager.

    But anyway! I did my own version of the army fitness test today. Its based on a run, with a 0.5mile warm up, then a 1.5mile (2.4km)timed run.

    After a slightly longer warmup, i ran in 10:55. 25 seconds outside of Parachute regiment pace, but 3 minutes faster than i'd need to! If my application goes through, im wanting to hit the higher tier of fitness.

    Guest and I did a small Holiday 5K tonight, and I managed to collect my first piece of (overall/non-age group) hardware, finishing the race in 19:26, and coming in 2nd out of 85 runners. I was pretty disciplined with my pacing (6:20/6:28/6:17 splits for the 3 miles), and passed 2 runners who started out too fast at the midpoint of the race as they tired. Still, first place ran a solid consistent race (finishing 20 seconds ahead of me), and I didn't have a good chance to close the gap at the end. Regardless, I'm postponing my long run to tomorrow night as the weather should be awesome then and I'll be a bit less sore.

    12/1 - Run 4 miles, Bike 15 miles
    12/2 - Bike 13 miles, Run 4 miles (hill repeats at 7 pace), Swim 0.5 miles
    12/3 - Bike 35 miles, Run 4 miles, Lift 30 min

    12/5 - Run 6 miles
    12/6 - Swim 0.7 miles, Run 4 miles (w. 5K in 19:26)

    Total: Run 22 miles, Bike 83 miles, Lift 1 time, Swim 1.4 miles
    Goal: Run 230 miles, Bike 350 miles, Lift 5 times, Swim 8 miles
    Remaining: Run 208 miles, Bike 267 miles, Lift 4 times, Swim 6.4 miles

    Ended up doing my long run last night en route to/from a group speedwork session (5 there, 5 fast, 5 home), so I opted for a long metric century bike today to recover. Feeling a bit odd resting this long between lifting sessions, but I probably should lose some upper body muscle mass if I want to make a run at a BQ at my Disney Marathon in another 6 weeks. With the Sunday 5k, 15 miler w. speedwork yesterday, and another 6 today, I probably need to take a day off from running tomorrow.
